The basic principal is that a spring is placed to the rear of each tooth that needs attention and pushes it back into alignment over time and with tightening of the spring. Time and a dentists opinion will judge how long you need to wear the retainer.

If you really want to get those straight then go for it! Yes many people wear just retainers or retainers before braces, even after braces. If you really want to get those straight then go for it!
